The Alms-bowl of a Theravada monk

The monk’s alms-bowl is only used to receive cooked food & fruits offered by willing donors. The monk strictly does not accept money with his bowl or on his Pindacāra (alms-round).The Theravada Buddhist monk only consumes food between the break of dawn (around 7am) and noon (12pm). Thus, he does not go about collecting alms-food after mid-day. The monk goes on Pindacāra mindfully observing ‘noble silence’. He does not engage in talking or chatting with others.More about :What is Pindacāra?by Nalanda Buddhist Society ..https://goo.gl/NJxJQhMore about :Vinaya : 'Monks and Money'by Ajahn Brahmavamso ..https://goo.gl/pKUnsOMore about :'The Bhikkhus' Rules : A Guide for Laypeople'by Bhikkhu Ariyesako ..https://goo.gl/f4ilpY** If you have found the above educational material useful, please share it with others, and do 'Like' us at .. https://goo.gl/5NYQre .**- Posted by CFFong
